Accessibility.Works is a consulting-led firm backed by a 25+ year web agency. They audit, remediate, and verify — with a strong focus on enterprise e-commerce, SaaS product teams, and government compliance. The differences are in market focus, pricing model, and engagement structure.
Accessibility.Works is the accessibility division of Propeller Media Works, a web development agency founded in 1997. Their model combines accessibility consultants with a full development team — consultants audit, developers remediate, and consultants verify. They position themselves as an all-senior, U.S.-based team with no juniors and no offshoring, focused on e-commerce, SaaS platforms, mobile apps, and government compliance. They also publish strong anti-overlay content and perform genuine source-code remediation.
Two legitimate remediation companies with different market positions and engagement models.

Have a SaaS product team that needs accessibility integrated into development sprints. Their consulting model is built to embed with product teams and provide ongoing guidance as features ship.
Need mobile app audits. They audit native iOS and Android applications — a service Compliapoint does not offer.
Want an accessibility program, not just a project. Their governance, program design, and custom training offerings serve organizations building long-term accessibility capabilities.
Are bidding on government contracts where a VPAT authored by an experienced team provides procurement credibility.
Have budget for enterprise consulting. All-senior, U.S.-based teams command enterprise pricing. If your organization has the budget, their expertise is genuine.
Need compliance, not a program. If you need your website audited, fixed, and documented — without building an internal accessibility practice — Compliapoint delivers that in a single engagement.
Want pricing before a call. Compliapoint provides written proposals based on a 3-minute assessment. No consultation call required to learn what it costs.
Are a small or medium business. Local businesses, professional firms, restaurants, e-commerce stores, and startups are Compliapoint's core market.
Received a demand letter. Rush delivery in 1–3 business days with complete documentation. Speed is the priority.
Want a fixed-scope engagement. One price, one timeline, everything included. No ongoing consulting retainer required.
Accessibility.Works performs WCAG audits on native iOS and Android applications — not just websites. If your business has a mobile app that needs accessibility compliance, this is a meaningful service. Compliapoint focuses on web-based assets and does not audit native mobile applications.
For organizations that want to build accessibility into their culture and processes long-term, Accessibility.Works offers program design, governance frameworks, and ongoing guidance. This is a consulting-layer service that goes beyond any single remediation project. Compliapoint is a project-based service — we deliver compliance for a specific scope, not an organizational transformation.
Accessibility.Works develops training programs based on the specific issues found in your audit, tailored to your team's roles and skill levels. If you want your designers, developers, and content creators to understand accessibility independently, this is valuable. Compliapoint does not offer training — we do the work so your team doesn't have to learn it.
Their consulting model allows them to work within SaaS product teams, participating in sprints and providing real-time guidance as features are built. Compliapoint's model is project-based: we receive access, do the work, and deliver the result. We don't embed with your development team long-term.
Both companies verify their work. Accessibility.Works has a formalized three-step process where different team members audit, remediate, and then re-audit. Compliapoint's verification is integrated into the delivery — our team audits and remediates with built-in quality checks. The outcome is the same: verified compliance. The internal workflow differs but both produce validated results.
Enterprise consulting companies typically use custom pricing because engagements vary dramatically in scope. A 15-page marketing site is a fundamentally different project than a SaaS platform with 200 screens across three user roles. Custom quoting makes sense for that range. The trade-off is that smaller businesses can't quickly assess whether the service fits their budget without scheduling a call.
They're right that accessibility requires ongoing attention as content changes. Compliapoint's compliance certificate documents the state of your site at the time of completion — it certifies that the audit was conducted, violations were remediated, and specific WCAG standards were met on a specific date. It's a legal defense document, not a permanent guarantee. We also offer optional monthly monitoring to catch new violations. The certificate is accurate and defensible; ongoing maintenance is a separate, complementary service.
If you have a standard WordPress site — a business website, blog, or WooCommerce store — an enterprise consulting engagement may be more than you need. Accessibility.Works is built for complex e-commerce platforms, SaaS products, and multi-property enterprise environments. Compliapoint is built for WordPress, Shopify, Drupal, and other standard business websites where the goal is straightforward: audit it, fix it, document it, and move on. For closed platforms like Wix and Squarespace, we provide the full audit and a detailed remediation guide rather than direct source-code remediation.
Our Site Accessibility Assessment takes about 3 minutes. We respond with a clear written proposal — no obligation, no calls required, no pressure.
Eligible small businesses can recover up to $5,000 of accessibility costs annually via IRS Form 8826.
